According to the Tantric teachings the human being has 7 chakras. The Chakra is like a gateway by which the human being can receive or emit energy and also experience emotional and mental states.Actually in tantra we define different personalities of human beings according to their Chakras. Most average human beings have one or maximum two Chakras predominantly active. That is why many times you will see that we refer in this blog to an actor/actress, a director, a music composer etc. as a person who is predominantly manifesting the energy of one Chakra mostly (this can be any one of the 7 Chakras as they will be explained shortly).
